Windows 10/11 Installer

Bootable USB Install / Repair UEFI + Secure Boot GPT / MBR

Overview

Boot this USB to install or repair Windows 10 or Windows 11. Supports clean installs, in-place repairs (keep files/apps when eligible), disk partitioning, and driver loading during setup. Works with modern UEFI/Secure Boot devices and many legacy BIOS systems.

Quick Start (Clean Install):

Enter your PC’s boot menu and choose the USB (prefer the UEFI entry on modern systems).
At setup, pick language/keyboard → click Install now.
Enter product key (or click I don’t have a product key and choose your edition).
Choose Custom → select target drive/partition → use Drive options if you need to delete/create/format.
Continue → device will reboot multiple times → complete OOBE (user, network, privacy settings).

💡 Tip: Have Wi-Fi/LAN drivers handy. Windows 11 typically requires UEFI, Secure Boot, and TPM 2.0; Windows 10 is more flexible on older hardware.

Use Cases

🆕 Clean Install (best performance)

Back up files from the target drive.
Boot from USB → Install now → choose edition matching your license.
Pick Custom → select destination partition or unallocated space.
(Optional) Drive options → Delete old partitions → Create new → Format → Next.
Finish setup and OOBE. Install chipset/storage/network/GPU drivers after first desktop.

🛠️ In-Place Repair / Keep Files

Boot normally into Windows (if possible). If not, use the USB and choose Repair your computer → Troubleshoot → Startup Repair.

👤 Create/Use a Local Account (Windows 11)

During OOBE, when asked to connect, you can choose an Ethernet/Wi-Fi connection and sign in with a Microsoft account.
Some editions allow a local account option (varies by version/edition); once on the desktop, you can add local accounts in Settings → Accounts.

Note: Policies can change with new builds—follow on-screen options for your edition.

Troubleshooting

🧿 UEFI, Secure Boot, and Boot Mode

Prefer UEFI + GPT for Windows 10/11. Keep Secure Boot enabled when supported.
If the USB appears twice in the boot menu, pick the UEFI entry. Legacy/CSM is for older hardware only.

💽 “Windows cannot be installed…” (GPT/MBR)

UEFI install → target disk must be GPT (diskpart → list disk → select disk N → clean → convert gpt).
Legacy BIOS/CSM → target disk must be MBR (convert mbr).
Warning: clean erases the disk—back up first.

🔐 Windows 11 Requirements (TPM 2.0, Secure Boot)

Windows 11 generally requires TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and supported CPU.
If your device doesn’t meet requirements, install Windows 10 instead (supported on more hardware).
